DETAILS:
The RIAS-2 retains all the features that made the original instrument so popular and gives practitioners even more reason to trust this instrument. It offers a full IQ battery for less time and less cost than similar measures.
Features and Benefits
Can be used as a stand-alone intellectual assessment or as part of a larger battery to diagnose specific disorders, such as intellectual disabilities or learning disabilities, and as a way to determine educational placement.
All four core and two memory subtests from the original RIAS were retained; however, individual harder and easier items were added to provide greater range, and other items were revised to allow for more up-to-date and acceptable responses.
Two supplemental speeded processing subtests (one verbal, one nonverbal) combine to create the Speeded Processing Index (SPI).
Requires low motor demand.
Optional memory and speeded processing subtests are available.
By popular demand, all basal and ceiling rules for the subtests are more conservative, are consistent with one another, and allow for more accurate assessment at the lowest and highest ability level.
